I know this may sound like a dumb question, and maybe it is.

Why does it matter so much who spends more in our country? What are they buying exactly?

I get that you need some money to buy ads and get a message out. But isn't there a point where that gets saturated and starts having the opposite effect?

Are they just paying people off for votes?

This isn’t primarily a left-versus-right question. The point was that some Republican candidates are distancing themselves from the current administration because the president has repeatedly undercut his own negotiating position. By prioritizing ‘deals’ while publicly attacking potential partners and shifting positions, he has made it rational for others not to come to the table. That loss of credibility, not partisan loyalty, is what is driving the distance

Edit to clarify

Campaign spending buys concrete things: advertising reach, data and targeting, staff and organizing capacity, research, and name recognition. It also purchases post-election access and influence for major donors and groups.

If I was inclined to support the Republican candidate, I would advise Mr Trump to not bother with Paxton's campaign.


Good thing you have never been a Republican

Paxton is a lost cause. He's thoroughly disliked on all sides of the political spectrum.


Where do you get your information? All sides? frick all sides. He is a fighter for the right and is adored by them. He has been attacked so many times it would make your head spin, and he has come out on top EVERY TIME. The guy is a winner and will win in the fall. Stop writing liberal fan fiction. It doesn't suit you

Trump’s second term will go down as a failure because he didn’t have the political will to defeat Iran. Once you commit to the war, you gotta 100% win it. The US people will not support losers. Winning, with causalities, is a price voters will still support. Losing or having a stalemate with few, won’t be tolerated.

Trump thinks the American people won’t tolerate casualties. He’s wrong. They won’t tolerate losing without clear objectives.

Other than the border being more secure, it’s been a whole lotta nothing in the 2nd term. Only good thing for the GOP is the Dems can be blamed when the stock bubble bursts
